When I was young I'd listen to the radio Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along It made me smile
Those were such happy times And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well
Every sha-la-la-la Every wo-o-wo-o Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing So fine
When they get to the part where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry Just like before It's yesterday once more
Looking back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me As they melt the years away
Every sha-la-la-la Every wo-o-wo-o Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing So fine
All my best memories Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Every sha-la-la-la Every wo-o-wo-o Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing So fine
Every sha-la-la-la Every wo-o-wo-o Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing So fine
It's yesterday once more
